- Thick Skinned: The Ares Class has thick, multi-layered armor plating across the entire length of the ship, allowing the vessel to take direct hits without shielding for brief periods of time, or resist shield piercing weaponry.
- Tracking Suite: The Ares Class has numerous targeting computers and tracking computers allowing it to note, track, and keep record of dozens of different targets all at once, and can deal with threats in sequence without having to constantly acquire new targets.
- Missile Wings: The Ares Class has several missile pods scattered across its hull, allowing it to engage targets at extreme long ranges, or neutralize fortified or underground targets.
- Capital Grading: Due to its primary focus, the Ares Class has minimal capital ship grade weaponry. It primarily has point defense weaponry for dealing with starfighters or in atmosphere targets, and its missile pods, while capable of damaging larger vessels, lacks the crippling power to try threaten larger vessels.
- Sluggish: The Ares Class is designed primarily for use in atmosphere of planets and other celestial bodies, and as such its engines and thrusters are designed to deal primarily with the threat of gravity, wind disruption, and any other climate threats it could face. In space, the vessel primarily must rely on other vessels to shield it from fast moving threats, and cannot effectively withdraw once committed to a battle.
- Shielding Overlap: While the Ares Class has numerous overlapping and redundant shield emitters to provide it with the protection it needs to enter a planets atmosphere and survive most threats thrown against it, the way they are placed means that when one shield generator fails, there is a brief period where other shield emitters are temporarily out of focus as they alter their shape to compensate for the loss. This will temporarily open up the ship to enemy fire against its hull.
The Ares Class Planetary Assault Ship is a vessel designed from schematics Daelil Morr took with him when he fled the Fondor Shipyards and joined the Silver Jedi Order. Only partially finished by his own father, Daelil put the final touches on the design before turning them over to the Order to begin work on them. The primary goal of the Ares Class is to serve as spearhead and beachhead vessel. In ideal situations, a wave of Ares Class vessels will be deployed after space superiority has been secured. They will use their heavy armor and shielding to weather any planetary defense fire that might have destroyed lighter armored troop transports, and begin tracking targets with their advanced sensor suite. Once they reach a certain altitude, the Ares vessels will pull up from their nose dive and level off, deploying a drop pod transport to slam into the ground and deploy a small squad of soldiers to the planet below. Afterwards, the Ares will remain in atmosphere and use its heavy armor and missile weaponry to begin eliminating planetary targets of interest, and create an opening for secondary invasion forces.
Equipped with Molecular, Ray, and Deflector shielding, the Ares Class is well equipped to be able to survive direct fire from multiple targets for short periods of time, and enter a system to carry out its designated orders under most situations.
